You’ve done a lot of looking at categories of layouts in the last couple of weeks.
Now we’ll look at someone else’s categories to see what you think, what you
can learn, what you can teach…

WHAT TO DO

[Here I ask students to read someone else’s design principles: for example, this is
where I would ask students to read the section of Robin Williams’s and John Tollett’s Robin Williams Design Workbook on categories of design.]Please write approximately 500 words in response to the reading, using the
following questions to guide your writing:

•

Do [this writer’s] categories agree with what you have observed? Where
are the agreements and disagreements? How do you explain the differences
and agreements?

•

How do the categories help you think (or not) about the design work you
see yourself doing in the future?

Please be sure your name is on your writing—and please be sure your writing
doesn’t have the default settings and lack-of-choice choices of usual academic
writing; instead, please present your writing so that you cannot separate form
from content. Thanks!
